hurst and Southern Pines Theatres,
it being the eleventh anniversary ot
the opening of the Pinehurst thea

been our custom in the past, we have
endeavored to make this Anniversary
one to be remembered by our pa
trons, because of the superior enter-
tainmant offered during this week.
We believe this year, we have been
unusually successful, as will be not
ed by the following pre-views of at-
tractions, and we invite our patrons
to make this sort of special theatre
week and enjoy the unusual attrac
tions.

SOUTHERN PINES
After almost half a year of pro
duction, “The Cat and the Fiddle”
conies to the screen of the Southern
Pines Theatre, Monday, Tuesday,
Wednesday, February 26, 27, 28, with
a Tuesday matinee, as one of the
most pretentious offerings of the
Mctro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio for the
current show season. Ramon Navarro
and Jeanette MacDonald are the co-
stars. Each is not only a romantic
favorite, but an accomplished sin
ger. They are teamed for the first
time in this production, but their
success has been so instantaneous
and outstanding that M. G. M. is now
reported to be seeking a new vehi
cle in which they may appear to-
gethei. "The Cat anfi The Fiddle”
’.va-' adapted to the si:reen from the
Hucce.ssful stage play by .Jerome
Kern and Otto Harbach.
The second Anniversary attraction
at the Southern Pines Theatre, Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, March 1,
2, 3. with a Saturday matinee, is
none other than that much heralded
.Samuel Goldwyn special production,
"Nana” starring the now famous
Russian actress, Anna Sten, about
whom has appeared sd much public
ity. We could fill this paper with
“raves from all the New York
papers, but suffice to quote from the
Kvening Journal, which says, “A
gh'.morous, dazzling beauty, brilliant
ly la\inchod by a master-showman,
and now after almost two years of
intense “tiidy and work. "Nana" is
here and it looks as though Samuel
Gjldwyn’s faith in his star and in
his picture is about to be royally
justified at the box office. Anna
Sten is lovely to look at. She has tal
ent, charm and grace. She has been
extiuisitcly photographed and cof-tum.

County’s CWA Quota
Ordered Cut to 553
More Than One Hundred Jolw
t Cut Off, With More Soon
To Follow
Effective today, February 23, the
{number of employees on CWA pay-
' rolls in Moore county must be reduc-
1 ed to 553, according to instructions
issued by Mrs. Thomas O’Berry to
Miss E^lizabeth Head, local adminis
trator. The quota for the county was
678. Further reductions will be made
each week until the program is dis
continued.
In order to complete CWA project*
before May 1, it will be necessary to
I discontinue projects that can be ter
minated without loss, and concentrate
on the most important projects now
in operation. Miss Head called a
meeting of the county relief advis
ory board and other city and county
officials for Thursday afternoon at
3:00 o'clock for the purpose of co»-
sidering the various projects and dis
cussing which projects it w'ould b«
most advisable to continue.
J The responsibility for dropping
' people from the pay rolls in the coun-
; ty i.s entirely up to the local adniin-
! i§tfator. and she has been advised to
1 concentrate all of her case workers
i on making an investigation of tha
I list of workers to see just where th«
I needs are greatest. In general the
I workers will be laid off in the fol-
! lowing order:
I °
I 1. Workers in whose families on*
or moie other members are gainful
ly employed either on CWA or CWS
projects or in other public or pri
vate work.
2. Workers with resources suffi.
cient to live without suffering.
3. Workers who are known to bo
able to get other work.
4. Farm owners and tenant far-
iners who should be preparing for a
crop.
5. In retaining workers preference
will be given ex-service men who have
dependents who are in need of relief.
One of the most delightful enter
tainments of the season is the yearly
intcr-city meeting of the Rotary
Clubs at Flora Macdonald College,
Red Springs. The spacious dining
room with its splendid collection of
paintings and even more splendid col
lection of young women make an ideal
setting.
Rotarians who may be visiting in
and around Pinehurst and Southern
Pines are invited to this meeting.
The place is Red Springs, Friday,

One of the best indications of the ;
improvement being shown in busi-
i ness conditions throughout the coun-
i try is the increase in automobile ,
' sales. Increasingly optimistic reports
: are coming in from all section, in. .
: eluding rural districts, jmall towns
and metropolitsm centers.
Substantiating this fact is a visit ;
paid to Aberdeen by J. M. Cox, |
Oldsmobile factory representative in
this territory. Mr. Cox came here for ;
the purpose of making an analysis I
of market possibilities for low and [
medium priced cars in this commun- i
•ty. :
Mr. Cox pointed out that the Olds
mobile All-Feature Six at a base
price of $640 and the Oldsmobile
Eight held at last year’s price of
$845, cover 96 percent of the total
automobile market. “This means,"
says Mr. Cox "that 9-out-of-every-lO
automobile buyers in 1934 are pros
pects for an Oldsmobile car. In addi.
tion to this it is generally conceded
' by authorities that the total 1934
i automobile market will be approx-
! imately 50 percent bigger than it was
in 1933.”
I “These facts’ says Mr. Cox "have
! brought about the decision to ex-
I pand the Oldsmobile operations in this
I territory by establishing a dealership
j in Aberdeen."
I Mr. Cox said that he was taking
i away a very optimistic report on
i Oldhmobile sales possibilities here and
j felt that an Oldsmobile franchise
iffered an excellent opportunity to
some local business man.

Thousands of people who can afford to spend
two or three times as much for a car, are
today choosing the Ford V-8 for 1934, in
stead. Here are some of the reasons.
POWIR. The Ford V-8 for 1934 gives you better
than 80 miles per hour with the quicker accelera
tion and greater smoothaess of an 8-cylinder
Bootor. Power has actually been increased by 12
per cent orer last year’s model.
COMfOBT. The Ford V-8 for 1934 offers more
actual body room than many other cars that cost
considerably more. It offers you new Clear-Vision
Ventiladon, with the window in one piece. It
offers you free action /»r all Jour wheels—phis the
comfort of Ford Cantilerer Springs and the prored
safety of a front axle.
SANITY. With the new Ford V-8 you get an all-
steel body, safety glass, welded tteel-spoke wheels,
exceptionally low center of gravity and more
braking surface per pound of weight than any
other American-made car we know of.
ICONOMY. Gasoline economy is increased hf
two or three miles per gallon with the new Ford
V-8. Test runs show that the new engine will giv«
20 miles per gallon at 45 miles per hour.
